Times of Israel – Education Minister Shai Piron suffered what initially was thought to be a heart attack on a flight from Poland to Israel Thursday evening and was rushed to a Petah Tikva hospital from Ben Gurion airport.

A hospital spokesperson said later that initial tests showed that Piron did not have a heart attack, and that the minister would be held overnight for observation.
